Life is busy

Kids. Career. Spouse. Errands. Meals. House keeping. Oh, and the dog!

Athena training a dog

You’re busy. Really busy. Unfortunately the dog won’t walk or train herself, and without manners and exercise she’s a bit of a handful.

Let us help train your dog so that you can enjoy each other for a lifetime.

Testimonials

Customer Review

Ruger, my Rat Terrier is full of energy and wouldn’t listen. I contacted Athena at Let Us Do The Walking to set up a training schedule. She was able to put together a schedule that accommodated to my time frame. After just a few training sessions I was able to notice a difference in how Ruger was obeying commands. Athena was great and by the end of the training, Ruger was able to obey commands, walk while on a leash, stop chasing the chickens and to not bark at everyone that he saw. I would recommend Athena to anyone that needs help training their dog.

“Athena is a wonderful dog trainer. She came to our home and worked with our lab puppy that we couldn’t even walk because she pulled sohard. It was very convenient because I am working from home.  In no time Athena transformed her into a dog we love to walk! The best part is that Athena was always positive and really cared about our dog so we felt good knowing she was well cared for. And our puppy got exercise as a bonus.”

“I’ve now had 2 great experiences in working with Athena, most recently in working with our 1 year old puppy, Riley. Athena has an extensive knowledge of many different approaches to help our dog learn all the things! Riley no longer rushes people at the door or pulls me over when we go for a walk! Riley is a quick learner but Athena has been a masterful teacher.”

“The patience of a master. I have a dog that doesn’t like much of anything. Athena was so patient and kind with him that she was able to successfully train him on basic obedience even without an immediate bond. I am thankful to her for seeing past his woes and bringing out the best in him.”

Bugsy is our mascot

Bugsy Says: “Dogs like cookies!”

Take it from Bugsy: Just like humans, we dogs like to be acknowledged for our good deeds. See us do something you like? Snoopy had it right—a pat on the head or “good dog” just doesn’t cut it. But give us a yummy cookie (or maybe a toss of our favorite ball) and we’re likely to do that cool thing again.
